Jonathan Joanis brings speed, production, and playmaking pop to South Dakota’s linebacker room
In the 2023 season, Jonathan Joanis was a reliable, disruptive outside linebacker for South Dakota, appearing in 12 of 13 games and making 37 tackles with 2 tackles for loss, 2 pass breakups, and a sack-highlighted season-best six tackles against North Dakota State. He also flashed special-teams/athletic upside with a 4.45-second 40-yard dash at South Dakota’s 2024 pro day, and draft scouting noted him as a faster, smaller-space linebacker who fits as a hybrid OLB/SS/ST type. If your team wants range, urgency, and a guy who can chase and close, he’s worth a hard look.
